After the excitement of the Camaro coupe, General Motors is now ready to set forth a rising star in the form of the Camaro convertible. Earlier, the automaker has released images of the convertible concept to wow the automotive market. Last Saturday, the car kicked off at the North American International Auto Show.

Ed Peper, the Chevrolet general manager said, For some of us, an emotional bond was formed when we introduced the Camaro coupe last year. It is magnificent. But now this year, if this Camaro convertible doesnt make your heart beat faster, you should see either your optometrist or your cardiologist, because you have a problem. Ed Welburn, GM vice president, global design, even added, The best follow-up to last years award-winning Camaro concept is a Camaro convertible. The Camaro convertible concept instantly evokes an emotional response - its a vehicle that you want to make room for in your garage.

The automaker has already expressed its intent to produce the Camaro coupe and it is expected to go on sale in 2009.Though the convertible version of Camaro is not much different from the hardtop, Kevin Tynan, auto analyst of Argus Research said it is a smart addition to the automakers show lineup because there is a market for it among the baby boomers and the vehicle also spices up some otherwise technical and practical offerings. Tynan added, In a year of technology and fuel efficiency and environmentally friendly technology being more in the forefront, its probably not a bad idea to have that wow factor. Thats what its for. To have people huddle around and look at it.
